Chapter Two: Glasses

"I'm not crazy."

"Yes. Of course, you're not."

Kagome stared at the man sitting next to her bed. She blinked a little forcefully to assure herself that it was not a dream. He, on the other hand, did not look up at her at all. The sunshine coming from the window glared against his glasses and shielded his eyes from her, but she was too scared to look at them directly in any case.

He didn't ask her any questions as she thought he would. Any doctor would have at least asked, 'How are you doing?' or 'How are you feeling today?' But then again, he was unlike any doctor she'd ever seen, so normalcy of any kind was out of the question.

After a while, the man stood and without a word turned and silently walked towards the door. Kagome's eyes widened and she reached out her hand desperately.

"W-wait!!"

The man turned, his hand still on the door knob and paused. He release the door knob and walked back towards the chair next to Kagome's bed and sat down. He flicked his long silver hair behind his ear and slowly took off his glasses. Bright golden eyes pierced directly into her blue ones.

"And I thought you'd forgotten," he half-smirked.

Kagome smiled and released the breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding. "You're not someone I'd easily forget... Sesshoumaru."
